    Judegement

    Summary The 3rd Additional Sessions Judge at Surat, Bardoli dismissed a Criminal Revision Application challenging a summoning order in a cheque bounce case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court held that a partner in a firm cannot escape criminal liability merely by not signing the cheque or claiming to be a "sleeping partner"—both partners share joint and several liability for firm transactions, and the defenses raised are matters of evidence for trial, not grounds for quashing at the summoning stage.
